Try to set automaticallyWaitsToMinimizeStalling property of AVPlayer to NO in order to start playback immediately.

_avPlayer = [[AVPlayer alloc]init]; //WithPlayerItem:_avPlayerItem];
_avPlayer.automaticallyWaitsToMinimizeStalling = NO;

But if sufficient content is not available for playing then player might stall.

Hope this helps.
